the world leader in advanced location systems, today announced the
success of its Quuppa Intelligent Locating System™ and the Quuppa
Partner Ecosystem has helped the company exceed its business goals—with
a three-fold year-over-year increase in sales—and positioned it for
long-term strategic growth.

Quuppa played a key role in the development of the recently announced
Bluetooth Special Interest Group (Bluetooth SIG) direction finding
feature added in version 5.1 of the Bluetooth® core specification, and
its standard-compliant real-time location system (RTLS) is based on a
combination of Bluetooth along with advanced algorithms it has built
over the course of more than 15 years. Quuppa has worked with ecosystem
partners around the globe since 2012 to deliver open, accurate and
reliable location services to organizations in a wide range of
industries, including manufacturing and logistics, transportation,
retail, healthcare, and other industries where knowing the precise
location of people and assets is critical.

The Quuppa Ecosystem now includes more than 130 partners including value
added resellers, system integrators, tag vendors and software developers
who each utilize Quuppa’s technology to deliver robust solutions based
on Quuppa’s precision location capabilities. Quuppa’s proven delivery
and support capabilities helps its partners and customers deploy and
manage close to 2,000 projects worldwide through six global offices in
Finland, Washington, D.C., Shanghai, Shenzhen, Abu Dhabi and Sydney.

In addition to these achievements:

Several companies that utilize ultrawideband (UWB) for location
services have selected Quuppa to complement their offerings

Quuppa has struck global partnerships with leading service providers
and systems integrators, such Orange Business Services, Tieto Corp.,
Fujitsu Ltd., Nidec and Lufthansa Industry Solutions which are
integrating Quuppa technology into their IoT platforms to achieve
precision accuracy

Implementations of Quuppa technology have grown to include such
industrial IoT use cases as smart asset tracking solutions in
manufacturing and logistics; smart hospital management; smart
workplaces; smart museums; police station safety; and dozens of other
use cases. Each of these customers utilize a single system, making it
easy for companies to scale their rollouts, lower total cost of
ownership (TCO) and maximize their investment

“Quuppa’s tremendous growth is the result of the many years spent
working on a location solution that is open, reliable, and as accurate
as needed for the use case —down to 10 cm—with low latency,” said Kimmo Kalliola,
CEO of Quuppa.“The Bluetooth specification for
direction finding is now aligned with Quuppa, and our partners are
integrating Quuppa technology into their solutions to deliver highly
valuable location-based solutions to their end user customers worldwide.
With the right technology and partners in place, Quuppa is
well-positioned for long-term growth.”
